  DIY - Rogue Back Up Sensor Install


Overview This DIY article is intended to guide you to install aftermarket backup sensors on the Nissan Rogue.


I got the sensors from ebay and I paid $70 including shipping.
I have installed sensors in almost all our SUV's but these are by far the best ones. They don't pick false obstacles like the ground.
The only thing I see is that it measures in meters but it just a matter of getting just to it.
Also, the inside of the bumper has the marks for for the sensors, you'll see it in one of the pictures.

Time: 1 - 2 hrs

I will post pictures and if you have questions, just ask.
I'll let the pictures do the work.

OK, to remove the bumper, remove six screws (numbers 4 and 5 in the diagram. Five clips (three number 2's and two number 3's)

This is the first piece I removed.
Four clips and they are set up in a vertical position-move them to a horizontal position and just pull up that piece.
Once you remove this part you'll see how easy the install can be.

On this picture below, look above the splash guard; there is a plastic cover and you need to remove it in order to get to screws #5. You do not need to remove the splash guards. Look at the picture, that is the area where I started to remove the bumper and made my way up, meaning, just pull the bumper with your bare hands and the rest will come out easier.

On this picture below, look at the big black wire, just follow it to the front and use it as a guide to run the wire from the main module to the front (LCD screen).
I installed the module in the packet at the left side (red circle). In that side, there is a plastic black plug to run your wires to the outside.
OK, do you see the black and red wires? This is where I got the power for the sensors. Look for the green/grey dots wire, that is the one that gets the power when you place the gears into reverse. Black wire will be your ground.
Also, this particular sensor required a third connection, I had to get a third wire for the ACC conection (most backup sensors don't required this), I found the light Blue/grey dots wire.
The three lines with red dots are the area where you have to remove three screws that hold the panel that contain your lift jack.

This mark is where you drill your holes, you'll found four along side.
When drilling the holes, put attention because you can scratch the outside of the bumper when the drill bit goes through it.


This white piece attached to the bumper is foam material. You'll need to make room for the two inner sensors. Make the cut on those red marks.

The small red circle is the LCD monitor. You need to remove the panel (big red circle). Just pull it with your fingers. Keep in mind this area is plastic, if you use a screw driver, you may scratch it.

Blankets, blankets, blankets. Use the blankets to protect your bumper.

Black covers, removed in order to get to screws #4 from the diagram (two screws) Checkout the all weather cargo mat; it is from my old 07' Honda CRV


Checkout the area where I installed the Magellan GPS. When I remove the GPS, only the small clip stays and it doesn't block the vent. I installed the clip that retains the GPS using black caulking. Yes it holds very well. I didn't want to drill holes in the dash because I don't like to place the GPS on the windows.

I like the look of the sensors and I also installed those mirrors ($2.99 each) to assist on the blind spots while driving since I am big with safety
